Sorry, this was a duplicate post for some reason.

Well, decided to go with Hayward version as several pointed out there seems to be a lot of people reporting short life issues with the generics. I do not know how long this cell was running before I bought the house 1.5 years ago, just that the owner stated it was "fairly" new. I suspect that...

So brought the cell in to be tested today and it is dead. Looks like time for a new one. As I said before this is a "generic t-15" cell made by compu pools. I do not know how old it is as I was there when I bought the place. What are your recommendations, generic good? Stick with Hayward...

Yea, pool store is a hike for me, I did bring it in a month or so ago and they said it was good. Do they generally just die, or fade away? As for testing the salt I have the TFTP salt level test kit. - - - Updated - - - I will grab those when I get back home this evening. The cell is a...

I am having issues with my Hayward Aquarite system again. This spring at startup it would not generate. I tried the power limiter replacement, was not the issue so I ended up replacing the board. It has been running well since then. Now over the weekend we had a large rain (3") and when I...

So I have read the many threads about the Hayward Aqurite issues and the current limiter needing to be replaced. But none of the symptoms seem to match what I am seeing with mine. The pool and system were here when I purchased the house last year so I do not know much of the history. Used the...

Thanks for the info, I will take a closer look when I get home but I believe it has pulled from the coping vs ripping. Is there anything that has to be done to the coping to re-insert the liner if that is all it is? Or is it just warm the liner and hopefully stretch it back and push it in? I...

So bought my house end of last summer, it included a 16x36 in ground pool. Been using the TFP method on it and it has been going well. The pool is about 10 years old and I know the liner is getting up there in age. I have noticed that in two of the corners there is a slight gap that has...

I am wondering the same thing. I have a saftey cover, I drained the pool to below the returns so I could blow them out and cap them. I new we have had some wet weather recently but I was shocked to check the skimmer today and find the pool had filled to the point that it filled up the skimmer...

Ok, that makes a lot more sense now. For some reason I was thinking I would need to plug the suction port some how. Thanks for the clarification. Going to be attempting this tomorrow as last night we got down to 25 deg. Also where do you guys typically tap into the plumbing to supply the...

Ok thanks for the info so far. Sorry it has taken a bit to get back to you. New house so learning many new things. So the original owner stopped over and gave me a quick overview of what he did to winterize. He did not use any air to blow out lines, he drained to below the returns plugged...

Ok, this is my first year closing an in ground pool. I think I understand the chemical requirements, my questions are around the plumbing. First, the pools is a 18x36 vinyl liner in ground with steps. I have one skimmer, and a wall suction line, no main drain, and 2 returns. From what I have...

Well, I checked as much as I could. Looks like a solid pool. Liner is nearing the end of it's life but looks like we can get some time out of it yet. There is a consistent drip coming from some of the return plumbing near the pump so will need to address that. It is a pentair sand filter and...

Thanks for the info so far, it has been very helpful. I am going to print this thread out and bring it with me tomorrow. Overall at first glance it appears to be well taken care of. Pool was sparkling clean when we had the showing. There is a timer on the pump so will have to test it out...
